I'm not a developer, but...

I'd like to run some SWF animations that I create from InDesign. These are to be run on my machine only. I don't want to run them through the browser as I need a full-screen view with no distractions.
I downloaded a projector from the one of the Flash Player pages, but it warned that the files on that page are for developers only. The alternative is to install the Flash Player plug-in for browsers.
I got the download to play the SWF on my screen, but I don't feel comfortable using the software if I'm not a developer.
How can I stay legal?

You can use the standalone player to play local files. It's not a license restriction, it's just not what most people want.
Alternatively, you can just drag the file into your browser and it will usually play. There's some complexity with running local files if they're accessing other files on the system or the network from the browser, in which case, the standalone player is probably a better choice.

Not a developer but need help with runtime error, please

Hi, I have downloaded a game called Fishdom, but it will not open. I get a " The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" error message. The dialog box is labeled "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library".
I checked my programs and I have C++ '05, '08, and 2010. I am using XP SP3. I don't get this error at any other time.
I have asked Playrix (game distributor) about it and they seem relatively clueless about how to fix it. So, is there anything I can do to fix this error, or bypass the error so that the game will load? I've tried deleting and reinstalling the libraries and
that did not help.
Anything you can suggest will be very helpful, because I do want the game and do not want to argue with them about refunding my money for it.

Hi CatsinQ,
Thank you posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, could you please tell us when you installed the
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library if there have any install errors?
If you can install the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library successfully, I think that the issue is more related to the game. Therefore, I suggest you can ask the issue to Playrix
(game distributor), maybe it will better help you.
In addition, since the
Visual Studio General
Forum which discuss Visual Studio the VS IDE issue, so I suggest you can try Brian’s suggestion.

Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.

Query works in SQL Developer but not in Oracle APEX

The query below runs and produces the correct result in SQL Developer, but when I try to put it into a PL/SQL process in Apex I get the error shown. There is no semi-colon at the end of the query in APEX.
The error is:
ORA-06550: line 10, column 54: PL/SQL: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended ORA-06550: line 2, column 1: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored ORA-06550: line 11, column 21: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "end-of-file" when expecting one of the following: ( begin case declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise return select update while with.
The query is:
SELECT *
FROM
(SELECT *
from T3_LEADS
WHERE
(SYSDATE - Last_Mailed_Date) > 60 OR Last_Mailed_Date is null
WHERE MARKET_ID = 'Salt_Lake_City' AND rownum <= 100

That is because when you run a SQL in SQL*Plus or SQLDeveloper the output is displayed on the screen, but in Apex you need to select those values into variables so you can do something with the data.
delcare
v_emp_id    employee.emp_id%type;
begin
select emp_id
    into v_emp_id
    from employee
where lname = 'JOHNSON' and fname = 'BILLY';
-- Then do something with that data
if v_emp_id between 1 and 10 then
end if;
end;Probably a bad SQL for an example. For your SQL though, you are selecting * which you would be able to select into a rowtype variable, but you are probably going to start having problems like "Exact fetch returns more that one row" since your query will probably return more that one value. In those cases you want to use cursors, and loop through the data one record at a time. You can Google all of that.

Why will a query work in SQL Developer but not in Apex?

Here's a good one. I created a dynamic LOV with the following query.
select
e.DESCR d,
ee.ENTRD_EVNT_SK r
from
PT_EVNT_IN_DIV eid,
PT_ENTRD_EVNT ee,
PT_EVNT e
where ee.PGNT_SK = :PGNT_SK
and ee.CNTSNT_SK = :CNTSNT_SK
and ee.EVNT_IN_DIV_SK = eid.EVNT_IN_DIV_SK
and eid.EVNT_SK = e.EVNT_SK
and ee.ENTRD_EVNT_SK not in
(select js.ENTRD_EVNT_SK
from PT_JDG_SCR js
where js.JDG_SK = :JDG_SK
and js.PGNT_SK = :ai_pgnt_sk
and js.CNTSNT_SK = :CNTSNT_SK)
order by 1
The query works fine in SQL Developer, but Apex gives the following error when compiling it in the LOV editor.
"1 error has occurred
- LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query."
I tried rearranging the entries in the From clause, but that didn't do any good.
Do you see what I can do to make Apex accept it?
Thanks,
Kim

The column named ENTRD_EVNT_SK is used twice in a select. Once in the main select and once in the inline query.
The validation maybe choking on that.
Try giving the column in the inline query an alias and see if that helps.

Able to connect via Oracle SQL Developer, but not sql plus

Using Oracle 10.2.0.
I can connect using the TNS connection type in SQL Developer, but cannot do so in SQL PLUS. SQL Plus gives me the error -- could not resolve the connect identifier.
When I do tnsping USPO_ADHOC, I get:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\network\admin\sqlnet.ora
Used TNSNAMES adapter to resolve the alias
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION =
TNS-12533: TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
So here is my tnsnames.ora file:
INTL_ADHOC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.239.162.108)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = intl1)
USSYN_ADHOC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.239.162.109)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = USSYN)
USPO_ADHOC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.239.162.107)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = uspo)
Any assistance gratefully appreciated. Thanks.

I actually did not have that environmental variable, so I added it, but nothing changed.
I would note that if I do tnsping foo, I get: failed to resolve name.
If I do tnsping USPO_ADHOC, I get: illegal address parameter.
In both cases, the output correctly identified the path to my sqlnet.ora file, which is in the same directory as my tnsnames.
So I would conclude from that, that the system was already able to find my tnsnames file.
Anyway, here's my sqlnet.ora:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, EZCONNECT)
Thanks again for any ideas!

Query returns record in SQL Developer but not in iSQLPlus

The problem I was having was I hadnt commited the record in SQL Developer but the queries where returning records in this environment but not in iSQLPlus or Apex and it was confusing me.

Finally got to know the reason why Timezone Abbr woudn't show up in SQL Plus.
I ran below query in SQL PLUS
SELECT SESSIONTIMEZONE, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, systimestamp, LOCALTIMESTAMP FROM DUAL;
SESSIONTIMEZONE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP SYSTIMESTAMP LOCALTIMESTAMP
-05:00 08-SEP-12 12.00.31.575228 AM -05:00 08-SEP-12 12.00.31.575223 AM -05:00 08-SEP-12 12.00.31.575228 AM
Now executed the same query in SQL Developer:
SESSIONTIMEZONE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP SYSTIMESTAMP LOCALTIMESTAMP
America/Chicago 08-SEP-12 12.08.32.072424000 AM AMERICA/CHICAGO 08-SEP-12 12.08.32.072420000 AM -05:00 08-SEP-12 12.08.32.072424000 AM
The difference between the 2 outputs is the way in which time_zones were respresented. In SQL PLUS, it is shown as an offset whereas in SQL Developer as a time zone region name. Now there are many "time sone regions" that follow an offset of -5:00. This confuses Oracle and a "UNK"(Unknown) for a query like the one below when trying to execute in SQL PLUS:
select extract(timezone_abbr from from_tz(cast(sysdate as timestamp),SESSIONTIMEZONE)) from dual;
EXTRACT(TI
UNK
Therefore we need to specify the exact Time Zone Region(TZR) in order to obtain the corresponding TZD(Daylight Savings Format i.e. CDT or CST). This we do by altering the session environment vaiable time_zone
alter session set time_zone='America/Chicago';
Now executing the queries to find the abbreviated time zone( in TZD format) will finally work to return a non-null char value.
select extract(timezone_abbr from from_tz(cast(sysdate as timestamp),SESSIONTIMEZONE)) from dual;
EXTRACT(TI
CDT
select to_char(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 'TZD') from dual;
TO_CHA
CDT

Connection ... able to connect using sql developer, but not sqlplus or toad too

Hi folks, having this issue, with only one of my so many databases, what might be the reason and how to fix/correct this, please assist.
Able to connect using sql developer, but not sqlplus or toad too; sqlplus error: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
thanks in advance.

SQLDEVELOPER works since it use JDBC Thin & does not use tnsnames.ora
ORA-12154 ALWAYS only occurs on SQL Client & no SQL*Net packets ever leave client system
ORA-12154 [B]NEVER[/B] involves the listener, the database itself or anything on the DB Server.
ORA-12154 occurs when client requests a connection to some DB server system using some connection string.
TNS-03505 is thrown by tnsping & is same error as ORA-12154 thrown by sqlplus or others.
The lookup operation fails because the name provided can [B]NOT[/B] be resolved to any remote DB.
The analogous operation would be when you wanted to call somebody, but could not find their name in any phonebook.
The most frequent cause for the ORA-12154 error is when the connection alias can not be found in tnsnames.ora.
The lookup operation of the alias can be impacted by the contents of the sqlnet.ora file; specifically DOMAIN entry.

Tcode in production client but not in development & quality client

I am facing this particular situation, I am seeing a particular Ztode which is in production client but not in development & quality client
Is it possible to have a tcode in production client but not in development & quality client, If yes what would be the reasons for maining in production client but not in development & quality client

It could be a local object that a person who has developer access in production created. This is unusual, but not unheard of.
Or the transaction could have been deleted in DEV and the deletion transported to QA but not PRD.

On certain pages of a website, get a Javascript:void(0) in status bar and no response to the action but clicking on same object works in IE. I am not a developer, just a user and I don't like IE!

When I click on some buttons on certain pages of certain websites, there is no response and "javascript:void(0)" is flashed in the status bar; then "Done". When I click on same button on same site/page in IE, it works fine. Have detailed one site/page but this is not the only one. I am not a developer, just a user, so please keep it simple!

Trying to compile from source, several cpp files, but not a developer

First of, I'd like to start with this- I'm not a developer (only do BASH scripting and Python). I've done some basic packages in AUR and am working on a new one. I have the source, mainly a bunch of cpp files. I'm used to seeing a configure or autogen script, however the source I have does not provide these. I can do a PKGBUILD that works with the .deb file package, but I'd like to compile from source for AUR. I've tried looking at other C++ packages in AUR but I can't seem to find one that doesn't have a configure script with the source files. Google also did not help much.
Any advice or pointers to resources would be greatly appreciated. I've also got a message out to the developer about it- the more I can learn on this the better. The source isn't on the site yet, but the application is fred, located at:
https://www.pinguin.lu/
Thanks in advance!

Sorry I can't help. A list of filenames or at least file types could be useful. But I just checked my email, downloaded whatever that was and found that it was not a proper tarball and could not be extracted.
Edit: I must be really bored tonight. I passed whatever that was (the not-quite-tarball) through gnu strings and less, and sure enough I was able to scroll through most of the code. Along the way I saw a Makefile hack with a initial line "#!/usr/bin/make -f" which would run make and treat the contents of that file as a Makefile. Reading it in this way I could not determine what the filename was, but it may have ended in ".sh" or it might have been called "install". In any case you can do `grep '/usr/bin/make' * and run whichever file matches.
I'd also ask the developer to consider dropping that hash-bang invocation and just properly naming that file "Makefile".
edit2: there is also a reference to the ".pro" file which is used by qmake (I think) like a Makefile.
edit3: I just verified on a few properly made tarballs: `strings <name>.tar.gz | less` does not show anything remotely readable in any other tarballs, but run on yours I can read *all* of the code directly. I'm not sure how you made that tarball, but you may want to look into that.

1. You did not get an error message telling you that your iPhoto library was getting full. You got a message telling you that your HD was getting full, right?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
Your Library has been damaged from being run on an overfull disk.
How much free space on it now?

Code runs correctly when compiled by SQL developer but not SQL Plus

I have a rather large package body I need to deploy and compile ... It's big and complex (I inherited the project). Our it dept is huge and scripts are deployed by the dba team and they seem to only use sql plus. My code deploys and runs fine when compiled in sql developer. Once I compile it from SQL plus it stops working. It runs and using debug statements I can see the values are correct but it no longer inserts the data into the proper tables. I get ZERO errors or warnings when this is compiled in SQL Plus and no errors are generated from the code at run time. I've diffed the extracts of the code from the DB after each deployment and the only difference is the blank lines which SQL Plus strips out when you load the file. Has anyone run into anything remotely similar and if so how did you solve it? I've tried modifying the code to no avail, adding in comments to preserve the white space makes no difference. The thing that really kills me is that there is no error at all.

Ok this is the problem area.... vReplyMessage is a clob. I've replaced it in this section of processing with a varchar2(32000). And now it works. I still would like to know why though. Nothing is changed when I load it though sqlplus or sql developer but this line " update swn_recip_response_t set SWN_RECIP_RESPONSE = vTextReply where notification_id = v_notification_id; " would never execute with the clob. Logging showed that the clob had the correct value though. I am puzzled.
